Merry Christmas
2014
Ty and Rachel – We spent this fall renovating Ty’s
Grandpa and Grandma Dowdle’s home, and just moved in last week. I’m sure you
can imagine how difficult it is watching an episode on HGTV with 4 kids, now
imagine living through that episode for 4 months with 4 kids. Overall, it was a
good experience, and we are really loving our new house. Also, I turned 30 this
year, and am now old.
Luke (7)- Luke is growing up so fast. He’s missing
his two front teeth now, and has a great smile. He loves waking up before dawn
to watch cartoons, and staying up way past his bedtime reading books. He has
quite the collection of rocks, quarters, and things that look like trash to his
mother.
Grady (5) - Grady, a true man’s man,
dresses like a cowboy and always puts in a full day of hard work. I’ve even
caught him working outside with his shovel before mom and dad are even out of
bed. He takes life very seriously, but always likes to end the day with a nice
back scratch.
Reddic (3) -Oh, where do I begin with
Reddic! He had his first crush this summer on a super cute lifeguard. He has a
smile that gets him out of trouble all day long. He idolizes his big brothers
and tries so hard to keep up with them all day. Basically, anything Grady says
is cool, Reddic likes.
Ruby (8 months) - Ruby joined our family on April 7th.
Her favorite pastime is crawling around looking for tiny plastic toys or trash
that her big brothers may have dropped on the floor and quickly shoving them
into her mouth. She also loves wearing pretty dresses and having her picture
taken. Her big brothers are absolutely smitten with her, and she thinks they
are pretty great too.
Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas and
a happy New Year,
The Allen Family
